CAUTION
■
Precautions for use of the sealant
●
Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant, consume
as much water as possible, and then immediately consult a doctor.
●
If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with water. If dis-
comfort persists, consult a doctor.
■
When fixing the flat tire
●
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●
Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after the
vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the brakes may
be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts may
result in burns.
●
Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
●
If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur or seal-
ant may be sprayed out.
●
If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the hose
will move abruptly due to air pressure.
●
After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the hose is
disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
●
Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not followed,
the sealant may spray out.
●
Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it burst-
ing while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any cracks or
deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the repair opera-
tion immediately.
●
The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate
the repair kit continuously for more than 35 minutes.
●
Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the
repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part connecting the
bottle and the compressor. It will be extremely hot.
●
Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the one
indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is located,
such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air bag from operat-
ing properly.
